ok say i got a beta 2 engine and trans from say a 2002 elantra

would i have to swap like everything?

is it possible to do a beta 2 with a beta 1 intake to keep it maf?

would i need a new computer/harness?

 

just change the block/head. Keep the Beta1 sensors and Beta1 Intake manifold/exhaust and you'll be fine.

 

hehe thanks again random ebay has cheap beta 2 engines...

 

You'll also want to swap the speedo sensor from your tranny to the new tranny, but the reverse switch is the same.

 

Beta2 engine is very boost friendly becaues of the MAP sensor.

If you were to swap everything, you would need new ECU, and some more wiring from beta2.

 

i dont wanna swap the wirin i wanted to keep it maf and just replace the block, head, and tranny

 

If you were to replace head I think you are going to have problems with RD ECU because of cams/timing. Tranny's have very long gearing.

 

people have been usin gt cams on beta 1 engines since they came out

i dont see why this would be a problem with replacin the whole head

infact random said i should swap it in another post

 

on this same topic.. anybody done a complete Beta2 swap with the injection and wiring?

 

The Beta2's (Elantra and GK) use a totally different wiring system (CANN digital signal vs normal wire analog signal). You would litterally have to replace 90 to 95% of the wiring, swap out airbag sensors, and all the Misc sensors an acuators...etc..etc... It ain't fricking worth it.

For the cost/complication, it's not worth swaping over to the Beta2 ECU/wiring. Just use the Beta1 parts and wireing/ECU and add on a piggy back to deal with boost.
